Long-term Partners Building Great Companies

Our mission at Lindsay Goldberg is to be the premier partner for families, founders, and long-term oriented management teams. Our firm takes a differentiated approach, centered on our partnership culture, long-term orientation, and diverse network of affiliate partners. We are the firm that families and founders want as a home for the company they have spent their lives building.

Long-term Partners

Our goal is to be the best possible partner for families, founders and long-term oriented companies. We can invest capital in a business for up to ten years and remain invested for up to twenty years, or twice the duration of most funds. Our investment horizon provides us with the flexibility to make long-term investments in growth opportunities and to invest

in transformative follow-on acquisitions as they are ripe. We typically capitalize our portfolio companies with meaningfully lower leverage than the industry norm. This allows our companies to more readily complete accretive add-on acquisitions and to thrive in a variety of market environments.

Relationship Driven Investors

We recognize that families, founders, and long-term oriented teams prefer to get to know their potential capital partner over time and work collaboratively to get a deal over the finish line. They value their legacy and care about how their new partner will treat their employees and their communities.

We have built our reputation on being just that kind of partner. Our relationships with companies often antedates our initial investment by several years or more. We welcome the opportunity to build relationships with our partners, understand their values and priorities, and jointly develop a plan for a fruitful partnership.

Building Great Companies

We partner with exceptional teams to enhance the long-term competitive position of their businesses. Our expertise across multiple industries enables us to support our companies with value enhancing measures in areas as diverse as supply chain, real estate, and human capital management. We collaborate closely with management teams to design a joint roadmap for growth, margin improvement and all-weather sustainability. Markets and

competitors rarely stand still. We use an appropriately conservative capital structure to provide flexibility and ensure a strong base from which to build. Our companies have historically completed an average of four add on acquisitions following Lindsay Goldberg’s initial investment. Lindsay Goldberg has invested in over 185 follow-on acquisitions, which combined with our initial investments represents over $20 billion of enterprise value.

On this website, we hope to convey a sense of who we are as a firm: our strategy, our culture, our people and our investment parameters. Our goal is not to be the biggest or the best-known private equity investor. Our goal is to be the best partner possible for entrepreneurs and owners of businesses who want a long-term investor behind them to fulfill a strategy of business growth while working with people they respect and enjoy.

We are not short-term holders of companies for a quick profit. Our investor base and structure permit us to invest new capital in a business over the course of 10 years and own it for up to 20 years. We view growing a company with a conservative balance of equity and debt as the most sensible and best risk-adjusted way to create value for our partners, our investors, and ourselves, and have a great time doing it.

Our partners are business people who have built truly great companies and want to keep building lasting value. They care and can choose their partners. Culture and fit is the top priority for our partner companies. Like us, they are discreet, have a concern about excessive debt, and do not want the world knowing their financial statements and strategies.

While our partners know that disciplined financial performance is the essential lifeblood of a great company, they also believe that ownership brings other obligations: to dedicated employees and their communities, to long standing customers, suppliers, and business partners, and to the needs of the non-profit world surrounding them.

We look forward to learning about your company's fundamental purpose. To discuss a potential relationship with our firm, please contact either of us.
